Vanessa Wool & Alpaca Blend Cardigan

I love this sweater. It is very, very soft and fuzzy and stylish with a top underneath or by itself There is one issue with it that I will have to be careful with. The front has those two stripes of straight yarn on either side and the first sweater I bought had a string ripped out already which created a little hole at the bottom of the stripe. I am hoping I can be really careful and not have that happen,

It’s funny, I was about to write what I thought was going to be the first review—and I was gonna say, more sensitive skins will find this itchy. But the person who wrote the first review beat me to the punch. I suspect there will be more….. TBH, I’m not super sensitive but I’m not some old catcher’s mitt, either, ands it didn’t bother me. Plus, it looks great, with the pretty, scalloped collar and the cropped length. I’m sure I’ll wear it lots.

I should have known better considering it IS a combination of wool and alpaca, but I held out a hope that for that price it would at least have been softer. It unfortunately is SO itchy. I ordered this with my SA to just have sent directly to me as I couldn’t make it in for the Icon event, and tbh will keep it anyway. I’m glad I didn’t go with the matching tank to pair underneath because I can only imagine how itchy that one is. Instead I just plan on wearing this for the fall with a long sleeve body suit underneath so the itch factor goes down. Otherwise, it IS a gorgeous piece and fits TTS. I wear a size 6 in tops and the small in this fit fine, either opened or button closed.
